Independent used vehicle dealership operating from a leased lot in San Diego. The business retails pre-owned cars and light trucks in the value price segment and additionally serves as an authorized neighborhood dealer for a national truck-and-trailer rental brand, earning commission income on rental transactions handled at the site.

Vehicle inventory is included in the asking price. All units held for resale are owned outright, with no floor plan financing in place and no floor plan debt to assume. There is no separate inventory payment at close and no additional capital required to take possession of the lot's stock. The dealership does not offer in-house customer financing; sales are transacted in cash or through outside lenders arranged by the purchaser. Day-to-day operations are handled directly by the current owner and consist of vehicle acquisition, preparation, retail sale, and rental agency service.
